[QUOTE="Kid Socrates, post: 2775786, member: 10714"] In a game I played in, we once surrendered four times in three sessions to three different groups! The DM had absolutely no idea what to do with us. Cor: "Vel! What's going on out there?" Vel: "I'm talking to their leader!" Cor: "What's he saying?" Vel: "Surrender or die, that's pretty much how it's going to be!" Cor: "...Okay! We surrender!" DM: "You do what?" Later we surrendered to a group that attacked them, then to the original guys again, then we stole their horses, surrendered to some guards, ran away again, stole a carraige, and Vel died when we wrecked into a shop. Of course, we've never surrendered in any other game -- that was just those characters' style. We've got a successful romance going in one, too, but only second time I've seen it, and the first nearly broke the game up when the wizard and barbarian wanted to make goo-goo eyes at each other in an inn and the two fighters had to go fight the bugbears by themselves. That was a rough session. [/QUOTE]
